CT970-48
LANforge-ICE 48-port WAN Emulator
The CT970-48 is an excellent choice for affordable, high-density WAN emulation. The CT970-48 is a set of 2 machines: One LANforge machine to do the WAN emulation and bridging, and an off-the-shelf managed ethernet switch supporting 802.1Q VLANs.
The LANforge machine is a 1U rackmount and the 48-port ethernet switch is a 2U rackmount unit. Neither unit has any moving parts, so they are a silent companion in the office!
The WAN emulation, bridging, and optional virtual router configuration is all managed through the LANforge-GUI. This same general configuration can support 24, 96 and other amounts of WAN emulations.
Rack-Mount
Software Features
- General purpose WAN and Network impairment emulator.
- Able to simulate 48 independent DSL, CableModern, Satellite links and other rate-limited networks, from 10bps up to 45Mbps (full duplex). Total aggregate throughput will not exceed 1Gbps
- Can modify various network attributes including: network speed, latency, jitter, packet-loss packet-reordering, and packet-duplication.
- Supports Packet corruptions, including bit-flips, bit-transposes, and byte-overwrites
- Supports WanPath features to allow configuration of specific behavior between different IP subnets, MAC addresses, or other packet filters using a single pair of physical interfaces.
- Supports routed and bridged mode for more flexibility in how you configure your network and LANforge-ICE.
- Supports WAN emulation across virtual 802.1Q VLAN interfaces.
- Supports WAN-Playback, allowing one to capture the characteristics of a live WAN and later have LANforge-ICE emulate those captured characteristics.
- Allows packet sniffing and network protocol decoding with the integrated Wireshark protocol sniffer.
- Includes comprehensive management information detailing all aspects of the LANforge system including processor statistics, test cases, and Ethernet port statistics.
- GUI runs as Java application on Linux, MAC, and Microsoft Operating Systems (among others).
- GUI can run remotely, even over low-bandwidth links to accomodate the needs of the users.
- CIncludes easy built-in scripting to automatically iterate through bandwidth, latency, and other settings.
